Microclimates

Neighbors have often remarked that we've sure got'em, and I can attest that it's true.

Yesterday I woke to below-zero temperatures, that never got above freezing all day. Meanwhile my weekender neighbors have all their grandkids with them, and the snow was melting off their ridge so fast they had to hurry with their sledding. All told, probably less than a mile away.

So I've got frozen water pipes, frozen sewage, and batteries committing seppuku from the cold, and from the looks of it there ain't none of it ever gonna thaw. If I ever meet Al Gore, I'm gonna demand to know what he did with my share of global warming.
